Manipulating Particle Trajectories with Phase-control in Surface Acoustic Wave Microfluidics

November 14, 2011

Nathan D. Orloff, Jaclyn R. Dennis, Marco Cecchini, Ethan Schonbrun, Eduard Rocas, Yu Y. Wang, David R. Novotny, Raymond W. Simmonds, John M. Moreland, Ichiro Takeuchi, James C. Booth
We present a 91 MHz surface acoustic wave resonator with integrated microfluidics that includes a flow focus, an expansion region, and a binning region. We demonstrate the ability to change the position of the acoustic nodes by varying the electronics

In this paper we demonstrate tunability of a metafilm, which is the two-dimensional equivalent of a metamaterial, also referred to as a metasurface, by changing the permittivity in a micro-fluidic channel that interacts with the metafilm. Numerical

Eduard Rocas, Alberto Padilla, Jordi Mateu, Juan C. Collado Gomez, James C. Booth, Juan M. O'Callaghan
This work proposes a superconducting multiplexer filter bank configuration to be used as a frequency-selective power limiter. The proposed configuration limits narrowband high power signals without degrading the signal performance in the remainder

This work proposes a modeling method to simulate how temperature rise, due to power dissipation, affects the performance of a HTS limiter. The spatial temperature rise distribution across and along a HTS transmission line is determined by heat generation
